The first Jubilee label was pink with black printing, "jubilee" in black print above the center hole.
"LONG PLAYING 33 1/3 RPM MICROGROOVE RECORDING" below the logo. The second label was
dark blue with silver printing, the graphics are identical to the pink label. There was also a white label
with red printing (deejay copies?). The 10-inch LP series started earlier than the 12-inch series, as was
the case with many labels. For a time in 1955, both series were issued, but the 10-inch series was
quickly discontinued.
